Your Guide to K-Town’s Coffee Scene

More known for BBQ, karaoke spots and shaved ice wonders, Koreatown now has its eyes set on making the
most Instagrammable coffee, while pairing it with eats you’ll crave later. Check out where to stop in for your
next caffeine fix.

#1. Caffe Bene Wilshire
A coffee shop that swirls your latte foam and serves ridiculously
decadent desserts? There. A lot of K-Town shops are modeled after
European cafes, giving them taste for the “go big or go home” model.
3287 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90010

#2. klat
If you’re looking for something with a bit more sustenance, the
neighborhood go-to would be Klat. With a California brunch as well as
the option to order kimchi fried rice, you’ll likely post-up here long past
your morning brew.
621 S Western Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90005

#3. alchemist coffeE project
Stark marble counters and nice lighting will make you ask yourself that
millenial-existential question: should I become a blogger? Once you’ve
steered away from that path, order an iced matcha latte and a pastry.
It’ll be hard to pick one. Now that you’re not going to be a blogger,
maybe just get two!
698 S Vermont Ave. Suite 103, Los Angeles, CA 90005

#4. caffe concerto
Another thing you’ll notice in a lot of spots is the Korean love for
Parisian influence. Concerto offers up Ladurée-style macaroons as well
as little animal face latte art. Cute.
610 S. Serrano Ave, Los Angeles CA 90005

#5. awesome coffeE
Pairing the two loves of the area, Awesome is where you go for sweet,
on-the-spot liquid nitrogen ice cream with rich espresso. Their affogatos
are renowned, and here you can also get it on top of a waffle. No limits.
3959 Wilshire Blvd. Suite A21, Los Angeles, CA 90010

#6. cottonhi
It just gets better. Where every Eastside coffee shop will serve you
Stumptown (no shade, just an observation) CottonHi will put a ball of
cotton candy on your cold brew! It’s hard to fathom a better way to start
your day than with something that resembles a carnival treat.
3825 W 6th St, Los Angeles, CA 90020
